OP is dumb.

>>133086162
Four is pretty fun if you get a group of friends to play it and actually continue the games after the first session.

Three and or Darkest Hour would be fun to play in MP but nobody plays it because "muh graphics" and desync.

>>133086463
3 is kinda meh in mp because micro, but i played DH KR a lot with 2 to 4 people. biggest issue is provinces.

Apparently if you're angry the game you paid forty dollars for has a completely broken, retarded feature then you're a "whiner". Customers angry about a game being fundamentally broken in certain areas are just "whiners".

Don't want to suck paradox's dick? Better not post about it, they might ban you from their hugbox!

You know why they keep getting away with it, burgeranon

>>133087412
sounds like you're bad. What you did there is called overextending. Congrats, you shot yourself in the foot (just like Hitler) and are blaming the gamed (the Jews).

Australia is boring as fuck to play in Hearts of Iron with its tiny IC and manpower.

>>133086835
Absolutely wrong. HoI4 is a tremendously terrible game whereas HoI3 is great with a few flaws. All they had to do was take the best of HoI2 and combine them with 3 and 4 would have been amazing but instead we got hearts of universalis.

>>133087580
>name one gameplay feature that was there at launch that has been locked behind DLC
Republics, Nomads, non-Christian religions

War was actually going great until Italian player got fucked by Brit player. Just that the frontlines are horrible.

It has nothing to do with overextending, shit happens attacking Poland. You make a frontline plan and then as soon as the tanks breakthrough and start surrounding shit the frontlines warp and wrap around the pockets and then when the pockets are eliminated the frontlines start going over each other and stretching out way too far.

It is just a shitty game mechanic that does not work.

i'm playing hoi3 without the DLC and i'm happy but I could be happier. Too bad the DLC costs as much as the game. Anyways hoi3 is only fun if you play as a major country, any other state is fucking hard to get reasonable IC or research on. I once played as turkey and only with the help of Germany and Romania I could manage to push the Russians even a bit back. I eventually took Stalingrad though which was pretty awesome.

However, playing the game without DLC means you'll have to play as a superpower, otherwise you're fucked.

Cool story antifa bro. I almost want you to dox me so you can get your little buddies shot.

>>133086833
The real problem with HOI4 is the AI sucks, really really really bad

Not even in the "the AI is dumb" kind of way, but in the "AI is actually buggy and broken to all fuck" kind of way.

I'm like the only person in GS communities that loves all the Paradox games and all the Total War games. Maybe I'm not autistic enough to be that much of a contrarian elitist desperate for e-props, or maybe I have too many friends to ever be a """"true strat gamer"""" playing the same old 1 game for all eternity.

>>133088680
1948 is the end date but with mods like blackice it extends it to the early 50's i believe

>>133089309
whats meant with pocket

>>133090227
Just surrounding divisions. Makes a pocket of trapped divisions.

>>133090227
Divisions surrounded by enemy divisions with no way of getting out (other then punching through). These divisions don't receive supply and can be eliminated.

>>133087833
That Japan map is fucking deplorable.

>>133084441
>Australia must maintain it is British blood

Regarding Vic2, the ideology system is completely BS. No matter what you do, your pops will firstly drift towards liberalism and later towards socialism, and there is absolutely nothing you can do,
Still via supression this problem could be fixed, but here comes the most broken feature in the game into play: rebellions. You get them every five years and they have a volume of millions of people, which means you kill your pops at an insane rate (these rebellions will kill much more of your pops than wars could ever do).
Late game it felt that Paradox just wanted to push a progressive agenda and the whole game system was build around.

Has anyone played Stellaris? Is playing as Xenophobe viable in regard of ingame success?

Reminder that hearts of iron 4 is for low IQ niggers. Hearts of iron 3 is the white man's game.

Why would this affect relationship with the US?
The US was far more racist than Europeans until the Civil Rights movement started changing things. In fact, Europeans hated us because of how racist we were to our own black soldiers during WW2. I read stories of how we lynched some of our niggers for misbehaving and Europeans flipped out.

>>133090823
>Have most reforms passed
>Most liberal nation in the world
>Millions of Anarcho-Liberals still taking up arms against the US government every year

>>133090823
Yes, actually. Hippie builds are the shittiest builds in the game. If you want to play the game effectively you have to go full Nazi but Paradox makes it impossible to have anything other than a 50% nigger ratio in your race.

Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

>>133090823
>Has anyone played Stellaris? Is playing as Xenophobe viable in regard of ingame success?

Yes they're great and easiest.
The cucked part is the human faction being POCfeminazitopia, but the rest is ok.

You can mod it anyway

Victoria 2 is the best game. You get to colonize Africa and rape the Orientals.

here's how to beat the jews
>>133084421

>>133090823
Your population will hate you for keeping slaves and genociding if you aren't xenophobic. But yeah, you can be xenophobic as long as you're militaristic and instead of genocide you enslave everyone.

>>133088931
I'm surprised they let you build forts. The online community is cancer. The host always plays Germany and always makes the rules so he can win for free.

Fanatic purifier is harder than just xenophobe militarist. Fanatic purifier makes everyone NEVER want to do any kind of diplomacy with you and all the empires know that you're eventually trying to kill them so they'll be happy to strike preemptively.

Sadly, I can't remember. But it was with PDM and the command was for those sphered african countries to be annexed. I think it was called "Imperialism comes to X" or some shit.

Also, there's a thing too: while nations vanish, populaiton and cores do not and after colonization you'll see MASSIVE nationalist uprisings of educated pops. Safe to kill eastern europe and niggers tho.
